SCAM CITY – SCAM, SCAM, SCAM Alert!!!! This company has breached the Australian Consumer Laws, I booked for two adults on 1/1/25 for two appointments in their Budderim/Maroochdore Qld operation for 11/1/25. I went online the NEXT day on 2/1/25 to cancel both bookings. I received a confirmation of both cancellations via email. They IMMEDIATELY charged my… Read more
credit card the total cost of $500.
I have tried to call repeatedly their 1300# (5 times) with no answer. I also sent an email as well as using their “chatbot” on their website. I forwarded a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation received by them via email.

AVOID Smilebar
Total Wastage of time and money. Worst service nothing at all – If you feel like you want to spend somewhere money for no reason. Then go to this place. Total waste of time. Worst service of my life. I didn't even felt like having a session. More likely a trap zone where you're staring at the time to pass by. Total waste of time. I don't even understand how could they open a place like that. I had two sessions didn't even bother to go to next one. What a complete waste of time. Show details
Waste of all kinds – Complete waste of time, money, effort and intention! I haven't gained slightest change or difference on my teeth, it's a ripoff in every sense. Show details
Positive reviews
Amazing results pacific fair – I went to pacific fair and had the delux treatment today, the staff members were friendly and it was an enjoyable process. My teeth look amazing, really white! Couldn't believe how well they turned out. Show details

Negative reviews
Complete waste of money - Westfield Sydney – Located under Myer City the "technicians" were backpackers who had neither done enough hours with the company to be entitled to a treatment themselves. Not a good look to start. No gloves were used to load gel into mouthguard and then into my mouth! but I realised as I sat there for half an hour that there was no form of sterilisation available… Read more
either, no hand washing being done, the plastic cup of water I got after 15mins came from bottled water. Try somewhere else.
rip off – I bought a 30 min session and it didn't work at all. Absolutely no difference to my teeth. Please don't waste your money. Unfortunately for a good result you need to head to a qualified dentist, not a backpacker! I was greeted by a man who could hardly speak English so found it hard to explain the process to me. At the end he tried to sell me some toothpaste and a pen, DON'T buy these- another con. Don't even think about it, DO NOT buy!! Show details
Terrible – Waste of time and money. I went for the 30min session with my boyfriend and saw no improvement. I thought it would be interesting to see the difference between us, his teeth are slightly more stained than mine. They only tried to sell me products. Don't bother, I'm going straight to the dentist. Show details

No effects after a 30-minute session – I did a 30 minute session in an afternoon, and it looked very impressive immediately afterwards. I strictly followed their directions not to have consumed anything in the 3 hours after. By the time I was going to bed, my teeth look like the session had never happened. Show details
Pacific Fair new improved product that works – I would just like to say thank you, the girls at smile bar pacific fair are lovely and friendly. I did read the reviews before doing treatment the girls told me my shade of my teeth before treatment I had asked about the product they were very clear and knew there stuff really professional and trained. I would recommend the 1 hour and 20min session better results. Show details
Doesn't work – Paid for the 1 hour option and once I was able to get a look at what they looked like they were white around of each tooth and nothing had changed in the middle so they look pasty and patchy so I went back and they just keep saying that they can see a difference. Show details
Biggest bunch of scammers ever! – My partner brought me a Cudo voucher of Christmas for the smile bar, it just expired and I rang the mobile number to book to see if I could still use the voucher and the lady was so rude told me too bad and was just horrible, I've never spoken to someone who has such bad customer service and no empathy what so ever, she could not care less that I missed out and the fact that it was a Christmas present, she just said too bad and hung up!

Best teeth whitening I've ever used! – My mum had teeth whitening at Helensvale, I live in Robina & decided to look into it. I spoke to a lovely lady at smile bar Robina, she was very knowledgeable about the product & treatment, I went away to look into the reviews, and consider my options going the natural way compared to the dentist, major price difference & more convenient and… Read more
relaxing at smile bar so I decided to give it a go. Embarrassed to admit I was an s26 shade of yellow & after a pleasant 60 min treatment my result was an s6 my teeth were spotty afterwards but as advised by the staff it would settle in 2-3 hours it sure did. I would highly recommend this treatment it's well worth it and the customer service is amazing.
Great people and service! – I got a half an hour session for only $85! Compared to the original it was a bargain, not to mention the pen and toothpaste were discounted too. I was happy with the whitening results, definitely noticeable! Show details
Rip Off! – A scam!!! Don't waste your money! After 2 x 30 minute sessions there was no change in the colour of my teeth. Don't let them talk you into buying the whitening toothpaste and pen (they put the pressure on and tell you it's a bargain at $100) they do NOTHING. They say it is needed to maintain the whiteness. What WHITENESS!!! They tell you there is… Read more
a colour change and that they can see it!! Baloney!!! Go to the chemist and but an over the counter whitening kit. Cheap and great results.
Amazing!! Completely satisfied with my results – I used the Smile bar for the first time today and am thrilled with my results. The staff were amazing, helpful and extremely curteous. I will definitely be going back. I also purchased the pen and toothpaste to extend the whitening process. Highly recommend their services!! Show details
What an experience !!!!!! – Today I did a 45 minutes treatment and I'm really happy about it! I was a little bit stressed before doing it but the staff was very friendly and helped me to relax. Results are great and I even purchased a whitening pen to keep the results longer. A bit long but worth it Show details
Great Experience – The treatment was instant, quick and easy! Good staff and great service. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a quick transformation!!! Show details
Got Really Great Results! Wow! – Amazing results and didn't have any sensitivity. Didn't believe the girls to start with but definitely all true! I feel so much more confident with my new smile. All the girls were really helpful really great service! So impressed and really recommend the toothpaste - has helped maintain my new white teeth! Show details
Great experience – I had a great experience at Smile Bar. Great staff, awesome result. Also is a really safe product so my teeth didn't get sensitive at all! Show details
Terrible Experience, The Customer Service Was Disgusting – The sales technique at Smile Bar is extremely forceful and uncomfortable. I was unsure about purchasing the 1 hour service, however after the Smile Bar representative told me to my face that if I purchased the service today, I could still think about it and if I wanted to, come back for a full refund. This turned out to be a complete lie because… Read more
after I made the purchase I saw printed on the bottom of their receipt a statement 'no refunds for change of mind.' I questioned this with the representative on the same day however they just sent to email the head office. The head office was not helpful, did not consider my case and then did not reply fully to my emails. I felt mislead, misinformed, disappointed and no refund was provided for a service I no longer want.

Robina! Good teeth whitening and friendly staff! – Had amazing results. I went from a s24 to an s6! Couldn't be happier! The girls were smart and good looking. Show details
4 stars to the team smile bar carindale – The girls provided me with an excellent service yea it's in a shopping centre but it's private enough to have a teeth whitening session done it's no different having a pedicure in the shopping mall, the product did not burn I had great results, beautiful white and I'll be back in a few months to have a freshness up Show details
Carindale beautiful – I paid for a 45min session I had amazing results the girls are so beautiful they all wear the same uniforms clean they took very good care of me. The product works the girls took a before and after photo wrote down my shade of teeth and when I finished they were beautiful and white n pain at all. Show details
Did not repond to call / emails. Treatment is UNSAFE. AVOID AT ALL COST!! – This place is a Con. No name attached to any telephone or email conversation. My dentist advised me against it and they refused to refund me the money I have paid. They refused to write a statement that they guarantee this treatment will not damage my cavities and it's fillings. Meanwhile they sales staff (at Chadstone) told me this is all… Read more
natural and 100% safe. I am reporting this to ACCC as I have sent 3 emails without any reply. Also the lady on the phone was very rude This is borderline scam.
loved it – I absolutely love this place! I have finally found a some place I'm going to stick with for years to come. They are sensitive to all issues and in my opinion the best in the city! Show details
Waste of time and money – $200 for 60 minutes. For untrained staff. Not the same as the dentist proven zoom treatments. Pushy salespeople for an unproven treatment. They state 2 shades lighter in 15 mins. Did not eventuate. Must pay upfront. The entire smile bar whitening is a con, colour did not change. Then they try to upsell the toothpaste and whitening pen for $100… Read more
to maintain the colour that had not changed, there was no mention of having to purchase additional products to maintain treatment prior to the procedure, of course not that is how money is made.
Staff said they noticed my teeth being whiter and that it was only now yellow in the base of the teeth which they say is very hard to remove and due to not brushing the bottom as frequently as the top. Something they didnt mention in their initial sales pitch . Once finished I was given a quick glance of the mirror and sent on my way.
Very disappointed with the quality, service and delivery do not waste your money on this service.
Doesn't Work. Waste of Money – The process makes no difference to the colour of your teeth whatsoever. Afterwards they do a hard sell on the home kit version, the price of which starts at $269 and works its way down to $99 as you keep saying no and walking away. It was like being bargained with in a Bangkok market. Show details
Regular customer – I am a regular customer at Smile Bar. I have been there 3-4 times over the year and the truth is I have never been disappointed. My first time at Smile Bar was a year ago and I was quite skeptical to do it as I have had a bad experience with teeth whitening at the dentist years ago because my teeth were very sensitive. I trusted the staff… Read more
telling me that the treatment was painless at smile bar as they use a peroxide free gel and I don't regret it.
Results are always good and you don't feel a thing!
I always send emails and doing some stuff during the treatment
I keep going there every 3/4 months for a touch up session. I need to have a good appearance for work purposes so it is so easy for me to get my teeth done at smile bar. There is always a chair available so I just pop in there and 45 minutes later I'm gone with white teeth again.
They have always been good to me so it's my turn to let people know about it.
They Refuse To Refund My Money For a Service That I Have Not Even Had! I Was Advised Against It – The day following the purchase I was advised not to go ahead with it as there are risks. I went back and asked for a refund. They told me to contact head office which I did and received a very rude reply. I have emailed them on several occasions and find it bizarre that not one email has a persons name attached to it. What are they afraid of? I… Read more
am sure that this is a scam and a representative of the shopping centre did state that they had had complaints and that the store was not a permanent fixture. So it seems that they are a fly by nighter business after all. Get the money and run!
Good teeth whitening – Hi I ran into smile bar this afternoon in Sydney. I just had some time to loose waiting for my fiance getting her hair done. I spoke to the staff, he was friendly so I decided to give it a try. I was seriously not expecting very much from it but it actually worked. Well, this is not perfect, but it is much whiter than before. Treatment was cool… Read more
and relaxing
I made some research about this company and saw some bad reviews. I can see some results and staff was great so this is why I write this one as I had a good experience so why not share it?
Scam! Doesn’t exist! – I just went o go to my appointment in pacific fair, I have already paid in full. They DO NOT EXIST. This is a scam. Show details
Waste of time and money !!! – Absolutely useless , 1 hour 20 min session and not a trace of any improvement. The follow up products are utterly useless too. Show details
